Picked this book up recently in an attempt to reduce the SF credit that I have at a local used bookstore because I took in box of SF paperbacks in an attempt to thin the herd but was unable to get cash for them. It’s a vicious circle, folks! Probably better to give the books to local charity sales, which is what I usually do.









Yes, I am familiar with the work of Clarence Coles Phillips. In fact, a book about Phillips and his work was published in 2019. Lovely!
